:24:01
- I agree, he is not her equaI.
- Good.
:24:04
He is her superior
in sense and situation.
:24:07
What are Harriet Smith's cIaims
of birth or education...
:24:11
that make her higher
than Robert Martin ?
:24:14
She is the naturaI daughter
of nobody knows whom.
:24:18
The advantage of the match
was entireIy on her side.
:24:22
What ? A farmer ?
:24:24
Even with aII his merit,
a match for my dear friend ?
:24:28
It wouId be a degradation
for her to marry a person...
:24:30
whom I couId not admit
as my own acquaintance.
:24:32
A degradation ?
For iIIegitimacy and ignorance...

:25:10
Men of sense,
whatever you may say,
:25:13
do not want siIIy wives.
:25:18
Upon my word, Emma,
:25:21
better be without sense
than misappIy it as you do.
:25:27
[ Whimpers ]
:25:30
Try not to kiII my dogs.
:25:33
We see so differentIy on this point
that there can be no use canvassing it.
:25:36
We shaII onIy
make each other angry !
:25:39
Ah, I see the tea is ready.
:25:42
Let's stop and have some.
:25:55
CIearIy, Emma, you have someone eIse
in mind for your friend.
:25:59
But if the gentIeman
